Dead dude rides again

By

Motorcycle_Mounted_Corpse.jpgThis guy is dead. He was shot to death in his native Puerto Rico, but instead of giving him a traditional wake by sticking his corpse in a coffin, they decided to stuff him and mount him on his CBR600. Classy. The taxidermist funeral home which performed the work is gathering a reputation for for the unusual, previously displaying a dead man standing up, like a really freaky mannequin. Video below.  >

    whoa.

    Oh, that’s not creep at all…

  • http://www.killer-photography.com Cameron

    This could be like the motorsports version of Weekend at Bernies

  • Noonz

    The little girl with the camera is a nice touch.

    PLEASE tell me this is a belated April Fool’s joke.

  • Alex

    They could’ve at least put his hat on backwards.

    I now know how I want to leave this world for all to see.

  • Jeff

    Very weird. Nice bike though:)

  • Duge

    That’s cool…. A repsol F4i! And the taxidermied guy is alright I guess:oP wonder how much that costs…

  • generic1776

    I’m sorry for your loss… I know these times can be hard, especially financially… Is the bike for sale? I mean, it really isn’t good to let a bike sit like that without preparing it for long term storage. Uh, I mean, it wouldn’t be practical to exhume the grave to run the bike every week.

  • Divino

    i guess ATGATT doesn’t apply eh?

    (that is just too creepy)

  • Hugo

    Did they bury him with the bike, too? Or did they design a special slanted coffin to fit the pose? In any case, there’ll be a very, very puzzled archeologist in a few hudred years’ time.

  • prichinello

    my god. I’m repulsed, but I kind of admire it at the same time. I feel conflicted.

    On a side note, dead people have terrible form. He should really be working the rear sets on the balls of his feet, not all floppy style like that.

    • Jordan J.

      He’s going to break his foot the next turn he goes around and then his riding season is over!

  • brettvegas

    And here I was thinking creamation, and taxidermy was available the whole time? I need to have a seriouse talk with my local funeral home.

  • robotribe

    Dude, that helmet is gonna do you no good sitting on the tail of your bike and not on your head!

    Oh. Never mind.

  • Epyx

    The definition of Ghetto is being shot to death and then being stuffed and mounted for display.

  • j.rot

    what he said^

  • lizzy.

    well thats odd.

    You certainly come up with the strangest things! At my age, I thought I had seen everything….now maybe I have.

  • Herbl

    Certainly gives new meaning to “Dead Man’s Curve”.

  • C Mad

    looks like his head is being held back in that position by a strap of some kind, under his hat and shirt, attached to the tail. that would suck if the thing gave way halfway through the service and his head slammed down on the triple.

  • Doctor Loveall

    Man, only if they could find some audio recordings of him so when people walked up he could speak to them!

  • CH

    Or perhaps the audio could be of him making some motorcycle noise! Brrrrrraaaa!!

    Um…
    Um…
    Um…

  • onearmedbandit

    Ghostrider finally revealed?

    • shinigami

      That’s some nose cola right there, bud :)

  • geonerd

    weird. then again, bikes or not, dressing up dead people and painting their skin to make them look alive while enjoying light hors d’ouvres is never not weird.

  • BL

    i want to book this taxi-balmer-tician for my funeral, i want to be in a life sized shadow box, walking behind my lawn mower, on bright green astroturf, with a beer in my hand.

  • Bronson

    …or wheelying away from a cop car on my motard.

  • J

    He died in a motorcycle accident. Right?

    • Anonymous

      Nope, he was shot to death…

  • syd

    @ J:

    FTA – “He was shot to death in his native Puerto Rico”

  • Scottie

    I’m rethinking this cremation clause in my directive.

    No, not really.

  • ZenCushion

    Someone should let him know that his rear wheel is chained — dude ain’t goin’ nowhere

  • Anymouse

    This made perfect sense when I read it happened in Puerto Rico. What do you expect?

  • brettvegas

    This whole thread just makes me spit coffee through my nose.
    If I went to this dudes sevice, I’d have to hide in a corner and attemt to supress a continous deep belly laugh, red faced.

    Please, please, stop this thread.

    Please.

    ‘snerk!’

    Dude, I would have my wake just like that but I would have it outside so myh buddies can pull up on their bikes and we can still have our last picture together, dead or alive. This is sooooo going into my last will and testament.

  • Nessje

    Dear god, don’t let the boyfriend see this.

  • Dave

    shouldnt he have a helmet on? I’d hate to see him fall off and hurt himself….

  • Michael

    This is SO why I never use that damn “kill” switch…I knew shit like this could happen!

  • oinonio

    Love it! Imaginative. The Pharaohs would be proud.

  • Dragone707

    Cant go to far with a pitbull stand on it…. Ohh yeah i forgot!! By the way, does that bike have a battery tender?

  • Fidelay

    Hmmm… Is this really awesome or incredibly fucked up? I can’t tell.
